World-Class Million-$ NanoMetrology Labs PI's Nanopositioning products are world-known for their precision. To continuously improve our products and to verify the performance, we have designed a six-fold-isolated room-in-room metrology lab, on a separated foundation in the basement of the factory.

Sub-nanometer resolution measurements not only require highest precision measuring equipment (we use world-class laser interferometers and capacitive sensors), but also an environment with extremely high temperature stability and total absence of vibration. The acoustic sound waves of a conversation alone can excite vibration in the range of several 10 nanometers. That's why the door to our metrology lab resembles that of a safe.

PI miCos is a leader in the field of vacuum positioning technology and system integration. Several standard lines of high-precision positioning systems with innovative stepper motor technology and electro-magnetic linear motors are offered. In addition, high-load rotation stages and long-travel linear stages (up to 1000 mm) are also available. PI miCos also has extensive experience in the field of beamline instrumentation, parallel kinematics and positioning systems for cryogenic environments.
